    Back in 1994 Mazda Released a very special Eunos Roadster called the RS-Limited

    It had a beautiful Dark Metallic Blue Paint (maybe it was Montego?), and came from the factory with 15" BBS wheels, Bilstein Shocks, Upgraded Springs, LSD w/ a higher final drive ratio, Nardi leather handles Shift Knob (same ones from the (93LE & 95M), and Carbon Kevlar Recaro racing seats. (probably the most sought after seats besides M2 seats)



    This car has always been up there in my favorite roadsters...... so it is with great honor I am able to bring a set of the seats home from one of these rare roadsters, I now have them safely in the USA, for myself and everyone else to see, & enjoy.

    I present to you, the RS-Limited Carbon Kevlar Recaro seats on factory sliders.










    They need some TLC, has some small rips and fade, but I always wanted a set of these. I'll eventually recover them and powdercoat the rails.

    One bottle of adhesive remover gone and 2 hours later the pinstripes and adhesive residue are cleanly removed !!





    anyone interested in some 93LE parts? These are the same springs the R-Package Miatas used, and combined with the Bilstein shocks are a great match!!

    only 9800 miles on these!!!

    Since you and I have virtually the same car, with strikingly similar plans, I'll be following avidly. Can't wait to get stateside again next spring to pick her up with my FMII and show off my build thread when I do.

    I'm a big fan of your work; keep it up!

    I think his Maruha version are more race oriented?? The Maruha I'm using are the "Street" version that gives a more "comfortable" ride. My last miata had race springs which kicked butt at the autoX however the ride on the street was too harsh for my back. So I'm trying the street version this go around.

    Yes I read your build intro thread as well. I'm very interested in the FM2 setup you are planning. Dandy on here also has a 93LE with the same plans as you.

    Really you guys are motivating me to do more work on the miata lately so thanks for following this thread, and I'll be updating more very soon since I have plenty of spare parts from my last build.

    Whew! For a second there, I thought you dressed moderators in camo Underoos with matching T-Shirts and then beheaded them for missing a single spam post or not waxing your 93LE real good... Looked like KFJ at first but then relaxed when I figured it could only be ATank which is no loss.
